Hi alan, Thanks mate . I do like scratch building but as I was layed of last year its sort of forced onto me although theres parts you have to buy ? Im thinking on getting cleated tracks for my Stug but I think only Impact do them If you want any help with the Stug Skirts just ask

andy

Hi Andy just looked on Tankzone and they do cleated tracks for the Stug as well as the Osterketten. Only draw back is the £79.99 they want for each set. However saying that I have just had my new Tiger 1 ( late ) tracks delivered and they are very good with correct style guide horns and good quality blacking on them. Got to go and fit them now lol

Hi as rule I cant realy afford Impact tracks but for my Stug III and Pz.IV I probally will have to so as to get the correct type . I think tho on a late Pz.IV the little loops on the sides of the cleated tracks should be solid . I might be wrong tho.

At last some paint . And you guesed it by looking at the barrel I ran out . Im going to add some more of the yellow base coat . And then spend some time weathering and fading a little , Ive got to do some thing with the lower portion . Most of the Normandy Panther As I have seen were not cammoed at the bottom or on the wheels . And touch up some areas . Its not perfect by far , It has been ages since Ive sprayed anything . I used standard Tamiya paints . I thined them down and added some white into the yellow base coat.

Just a few more pictures Ive still not managed to get any paint . So Ive been working on the tooling and started the skirts and mountings . The wooden handles are cocktail sticks . I have a little paint just enougth to do the skirt mounting brackets .

Very very impresive work Andy. I very much like the camo job. Keep up the good work

Hi Chris, Thanks for your comments .

Hi just a close up of the tooling . All the tools , tow hooks , cables etc come of . I used the stock tool ends then added cocktail sticks for handles . With the exception of the hammer thats a metal head . All the crow bars etc are made from steel rod .

your zimm and tool detail is fantastic wish i could do that
